Is it safe to drain laser tattoo removal blisters? (photos)

August 19, 2016
Asked By:LAGordon4 in South Charleston, OH

I have had my first laser tattoo removal session. The next day, the blister was insanely impressive in size. I used a syringe to poke a small hole in it to allow it to drain because the pressure was making my finger immobile. This is day three, and I've just "lanced" it again for the same reason. Is this normal? Will this ever stop filling up like this?
